Responsibilities:
• Spot-check physics items, identify quality issues, provide feedback through DMs, and escalate recurring or critical issues.
• Review AI-generated physics explanations, calculations, diagrams, derivations, experimental interpretations, and step-by-step reasoning.
• Update trainers/QAs on Discord about guidelines, workflow updates, and physics-specific quality expectations.
• Respond to questions around physical assumptions, formulas, units, derivations, diagrams, experimental setups, and rubric interpretation.
• DM inactive contributors, encourage activation, track follow-ups, and flag availability issues.
• Create and maintain physics documentation, style guides, trackers, FAQs, examples, honeypots, and onboarding materials.
• Run onboarding/training calls for physics contributors.
• Flag misleading, numerically incorrect, physically impossible, unsafe, or poorly contextualized physics claims.
• Identify recurring quality gaps and improve physics QA workflows.
Qualifications:

• Strong grasp of the English language to follow guidelines, communicate with teams, and provide clear technical feedback
• 3+ years of experience in physics research, teaching, tutoring, laboratory work, science writing, academic review, engineering analysis, or related scientific workflows
• Strong understanding of classical mechanics, electromagnetism, waves, optics, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics, relativity, units, dimensional analysis, and mathematical modeling
• Ability to evaluate physics content against rubrics and identify issues such as incorrect assumptions, wrong formulas, unit errors, flawed reasoning, sign convention mistakes, physically impossible claims, or misleading explanations
• Comfortable with Discord, Google Sheets, Google Docs, trackers, dashboards, and project management systems
• Highly organized and able to maintain style guides, FAQs, trackers, onboarding materials, honeypots, calibration tasks, and documentation
Preferred:
• Familiarity with tools or methods such as Python, MATLAB, Mathematica, LaTeX, laboratory methods, data analysis, simulations, scientific visualization, and numerical methods
• Experience leading or supporting remote teams of educators, reviewers, researchers, annotators, science writers, or QAs
• Experience with AI training, data annotation, LLM evaluation, scientific QA, academic review, or rubric-based review
